What these numbers say about electrical in Reading

By record count, electrical is the fourth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Reading, behind HVAC and ahead of roofing. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Reading.

Per resident, Reading carries more electrical records than Pennsylvania as a whole.

The independent share of Reading's electrical records is close to the Pennsylvania figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Pennsylvania publishes no business-level licence source for electrical that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Reading is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no electrical record on this page is described one way or the other on the strength of a file that does not exist.

No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for electrical in Reading, so no churn figure appears on this page rather than a zero standing in for one.

The occupational series the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes for this trade counts 820 workers across Reading, and this site publishes 102 electrical records here. The two count different things, one an occupation across every employer and the other the businesses on this site, so they stand side by side rather than one against the other.

No Reading electrical record is classified as a franchise brand or a corporate-owned location, so the chain split here is independent records and records still in review.

No Reading electrical record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
